Solution Overview

Problem

Users face difficulties in accurately interacting with application handles due to varying visualized sizes and touchable regions, leading to increased failure rates and complexity in designing user interfaces.

Innovation Solution

An electronic device adjusts the visualized size and touchable region of application handles based on user experience by monitoring input failures and dynamically modifying these regions to improve accuracy.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Productivity

If the handle portion is made smaller to fit more applications on screen, then the display efficiency is improved, but the touchability and visibility of the handle portion deteriorates

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedisplay efficiencyVSAvoidtouchability of handle portion
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The input region of the handle portion is dynamically adjusted based on user interaction history. When input failures are detected, the system automatically enlarges the input region to make it easier to touch. This dynamic adaptation resolves the contradiction by allowing the handle to be visually compact while providing a larger touch target when needed.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

Solution Approach 2:

The system changes the parameter of the input region size based on user experience data. By monitoring input failures and adjusting the input region parameter accordingly, the system optimizes the balance between display efficiency and ease of operation, allowing the same handle to have different effective sizes depending on user needs.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

2Ease of manufacture

If the handle portion size is fixed for all users, then the interface design is simplified, but the user experience varies significantly among different users

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveinterface design simplicityVSAvoiduser experience consistency
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of manufactureVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The system implements feedback mechanisms by monitoring user input patterns and detecting input failures. This feedback is used to automatically adjust the input region size, creating a self-optimizing interface that adapts to individual user needs while maintaining a统一的基础设计.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

Solution Approach 2:

The interface automatically adjusts itself based on user interaction data without requiring manual customization. The system serves itself by using its own usage data to optimize the input region, eliminating the need for users to manually adjust handle sizes while still providing personalized experience.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

3Ease of operation

If the input region is enlarged to improve touch accuracy, then the ease of operation is improved, but the display space utilization deteriorates

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvetouch accuracyVSAvoiddisplay space utilization
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSArea of stationary object

Solution Approach 1:

The input region size is made dynamic rather than static. It enlarges only when and where needed based on detected input failures, and returns to its original size when not needed. This temporal and contextual variability allows the system to provide large touch targets only when users struggle, maximizing display space utilization overall.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

AI summary

An electronic device according to one embodiment can monitor a user input related to the movement of a window object in regions related to a handle part of the window object displayed through a pop-up view, determine, in response to the detection of a first input in an input region for the handle part, an input failure with respect to the movement of the window object on the basis of a comparison between the first input and a second input before the first input, and adjust the input region for the handle part of the window object if the input failure is accumulated with respect to the window obj ect.
